Lexical selection and semantic relations of co-occurrences of gender and sexuality in “Parâmetros curriculares nacionais”

Abstract

Fulfilling our scientific and political commitment with a critical explanation, in situated social practices, of ways of acting and relating (as inter-actions); systems of knowledge (as representations), as well as ways of identifying and identifying identity (as identifications) in terms of power-knowledge-subjectivities in gender relations, we discuss here an aspect of the complex ongoing social process of construction of the concepts of “social gender” and “sexuality” in national political-pedagogical policies, specifically, here, in the “Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais”. We conclude that there are social actors such as family and a school who are negatively assessed and sexuality and gender are taken as a unique and indistinct concepts.
